Service Learning Institute
August 5-7, 2009
in Philadelphia, PA

Education and Service Learning has funds available that will provide

Institute.

Youth Leadership Track—Engaging
and empowering youth means more than having them make posters and
plan dances. This special “Youth to Youth” (Y2Y) strand
of the National Urban Service Learning Institute will engage youth
in personal leadership development, as well as provide opportunities
for youth to take their service-learning initiatives to a new level.
Teams of youth will have the opportunity to develop the skills and
gain the resources necessary to train other youth and adults in
high quality service-learning and evaluate the impact of these initiatives.
Schools are encouraged to bring a team of 4-6 youth participants
who will be able to take the knowledge and skills learned at this
Institute back to their local communities.
Join us for this annual
two-day event that focuses on applying K-12 Service-Learning Standards
for Quality Practice in urban environments. Hosted by the National
Youth Leadership Council with support from New Foundations Charter
School and the Institute for Global Education and Service Learning.
